U+8855 "衕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+8855 "衕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily means a lane, alley, or thoroughfare, often used in the context of narrow pathways between buildings or in place names. It is composed of the radical "行" (xing, meaning "to go" or "walk") on the outside, combined with the phonetic component "同" (tong, meaning "same" or "together"), which suggests a shared or common pathway. Historically, this character appears in classical texts and is still used in some proper nouns and literary contexts, though it has largely been superseded by the simplified form "同" or other terms for alley in modern everyday Chinese writing.
